Today a group of protesters held another noisy demonstration outside of Staples with a bullhorn, letting them know that this campaign will not end until they end their association with HLS. A number of people stopped to speak with protesters about HLS and Staples, voiced their appreciation and wished us good luck. One man said he would complain to the store and might return his order because of it.
